Did it hurt? No, only the anesthetic makes you groggy. The
nurses gave me their condolences thinking that it was recent. They had never
heard of a D&C being performed after four months, and were even more surprised
when they inquired about which doctor let me go so far, being fertility
challenged. He has a great reputation, and an office staff that is falling
apart.
The facility was nice and clean. The nurses were friendly, knowledgeable,
and had an appropriate sense of humor.
Upon waking up from the surgery, it felt as if I was having cramps similar to
the first day of my period. Nothing Pamprin could not handle. I was more dizzy
and lightheaded from the anesthesia. My instructions were simple. No Driving
for 24 hours. No alcohol. No signing of legal documents. Do not stay alone for
the remainder of the day. Watch out for fever, increased pain, redness,
swelling, drainage or discharge. No sex for two weeks. After all, this was a symptom
of my husband giving me cooties! After the surgery, my friend and my hubby went
to a local restaurant where I could get a bowl of soup. Clearman's Northwood’s Inn
located in Covina, California. It was fabulous as always, and then I was ready
to sleep. And sleep I did. About 4 hours after lunch.
I took a day off of work which I do not like doing. I am
feeling heavy headed still. With the
day off I am going stir crazy. My head has been spinning. My aunt
Maddie called and asked how I was feeling. I mentioned that I will be
ovulating on January 3rd (my cousins CeeCee’s birthday). She then
said, “be
careful what you wish for”. I have no clue how to respond to that. Sometimes
I don't know if she listens to the words coming out of her mouth. I'm
37 year old now. I have come to the conclusion that any of my friends who needs
a kid break from their own kiddos; I can help them. I'm at peace with
whatever God has planned for my future. In the meantime, I have a lot of
resting to do. Hopefully I can post some pictures of my cleaned uterus later; or maybe not. It
really does look like cobwebs that needed a good ole’ dusting & cleaning.
